Like he sees what kind of broken man Bruce is, how he’s just waiting for death at this point, because Bane himself has been in that exact situation. Had probably wished for death when he was left broken and weak before Talia saved him and gave him a purpose again. Tom Hardy is one helluva an actor.

[@krypton1982]

Very reflective, and I can understand the perspective. 👍

[@ElNick09]

Watch his eyes when he says "...of your soul." they start not looking directly at Bruce, but are instead looking away staring into the middle distance as if he's lost in memory. Then when he says the words, they are spoken just slightly faster than the rest of his speech. It seems to me as if hes spitting them out quickly and his then his eyes immediately look downwards slightly, as if there is just a hint of sadness or shame. Banes utterly cold, ruthless malice and control flickers for just an instant as he admits the severity of torture hes about to inflict, having experienced that same torture himself. And Hardy does it all with his eyes, a pause, an almost imperceptible change in voice. Brilliant, brilliant acting.

The Pit is actually Nolan's interpretation of the Lazarus Pit. A grounded pit. Seeming references to the Lazarus Pit in the film include: 1. Bruce healing from his injured back after being placed there by Bane (albeit over a period of 5 months) 2. A hallucination of Ra's al Ghul telling Bruce that "there are many forms of immortality", hinting that he is "immortal" through the birth of his daughter who was born in the Pit. 3. The death of Ra's al Ghul's wife in the Pit, who lost both of his wives (one of whom was Talia's mother) because of the Lazarus Pit in the comics; 4. The apparent insanity of the prisoners who killed Talia's mother, a common side effect of the Lazarus Pit.

[@50lid5nak3]

+TheDarkKnight666 One last thing: Bane, the successor of Ra's, emerges from the pit and takes Batman down after Ra's is gone.

[@Xehanort10]

+TheDarkKnight666 And being in The Pit metaphorically restores Bruce's strength and his fear of death and gives him the hope and motivation he needs to escape, go back to Gotham and save it sort of like the Lazarus Pit heals injuries and brings back the dead.

+Illya Van Hoof Bane also has hope. He has accomplished most of his dreams which includes taking over Gotham, breaking Batman, and slew of other things. Bane would be the perfect motivational speaker, he would ask what your dreams are. If it were to become an attorney, a nuclear engineer, a Ph.D level theoretical molecular electrodynamics chemist, and so forth... he then would tell you in 5 years, I'll come back and if you haven't accomplished your goal, he would kill you. Chances are you would accomplish those dreams of fear of death. The reality of it, when you have fear or indoctrinate some ideology or belief that makes you push yourself to your limits, you realize what it takes in becoming something that you had no idea you could be, then that dream becomes a reality.

[@noiryork]

+Nihilist The hell? None of you idiots have any clue what that phrase meant. Him saying that hope is a poison isn't some general term, he's saying it's a poison in relation to despair. "Feed them hope to poison their souls", with the despair being when the people of Gotham learned their true fate. The phrase means nothing without context.

The thing to remember is how they got to where they are when he says "but not of your body" Bane already beat the brakes off old Brucey at this point. The point is found in the choices made by Ra's al Ghul: He rejected Bane as his chosen one not because Bane was not qualified or capable of the task, he did so to remove a painful reminder from his world, Talia goes with him and, they are they are the passed over children. Bruce rejects the mission set by the league but, its because the passed over children interpret the events at the end of Batman Begins as Bruce actively or intentionally killing Ra's al Ghul Bane & Talia are compelled to avenge him from a deep sense of injustice rooted in the circumstances of their childhood their eventual escape from the circumstances into the League from which they acquired training and a sense of purpose and identity familial in it's undertones..... and this guy Bruce was taken in and made the chosen one betrayed the league and then through the training he had acquired from the league was able to also bring about the demise of Ra's al Ghul whose approval both these other two characters desperately desired- folks is inconsolably butthurt and took it personal and the concocted a personal response.

[@boxingboxingboxing99]

This point is very interesting, more so than most people notice. What separates the villains from the truth is the unity of the people of Gotham. The Joker and Bane both believe Gotham’s people are rats and will eat each other to survive. The joker tries to prove this by creating ‘games’ like the boat game, where he says the boats must blow each other up to survive, but in the end neither do. Bane says they will scramble over each other to ‘reach the sun’ but really, the threat of impending doom only unites gothams people to find the bombs. Both villains believe the threat of impending doom will reveal gothams true sinister colours, but it only unites the people further. It’s a really interesting though and I thought the developers delivered it perfect.

What makes this scene all the more terrifying is the tone in Bane’s voice. Unlike a lot of other vilains in that scenario, he doesn’t sound arrogant, overconfident or even hateful in regards to Gotham. No, he speaks to Bruce as if they’re having an everyday conversation over lunch. An everyday chat about how he’s going to drive a city to anarchy, before destroying it with a nuclear bomb.

[@CalculonTV]

While the Joker used Batmans weak points to break his spirit/soul by throwing him into situations where his physical strength and skills are useless Bane simply overcame Batmans skills by brute Force, broke his body and achieved the same goal. Pretty good in my eyes

[@crazymcgee4189]

This scene actually calls back to the first film. Cause Bruce was convinced at the beginning that it could not possibly get any worse since Rachel died but was proven wrong when he was here in this scene. Kind of how when he confronted the mob boss in Batman Begins he says "you think cause your parents are dead you know about the ugly side of life, well you don't, you've never tasted desperate".

"There's a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth: hope. Every man who has rotted here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy. So simple. And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst... many have died trying. I learned here there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize Gotham, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe that they can survive so that you can watch them clambering over each other, to stay in the sun... You can watch me torture an entire city. And then when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny... We will destroy Gotham. And then, when it is done, and Gotham is... ashes... then you have my permission to die." - Bane

The little eye shift he does when he says "of your soul" is amazing. Only a great actor can convey so much emotion through eyes alone.

[@1993Redemption]

What really impressed me about Bane was that he had Batman in a position where he could have killed him and been done with it. But instead, he insisted that Batman needed his "permission" (watching Gotham collapse). Shows how superior he was to him up to that point.

[@robdeskrd]

Imagine you are Bane: You save & take care of this girl, she is your only friend and the only thing with any beauty you have ever known and you both know one day she has too leave and it's dangerous- She has to make the climb and you have to buy her the time to do it, you get hurt but she gets away. The doctor fucks up treating you and it leaves you in constant pain...... ......time moves on...... ....so much time..... ...... ..... and then one day a group of armed men storm the prison, your friend found her father and she has come to bring you home! In a sequestered mountain stronghold you receive training, education &, a purpose and as your one friend grew up that friendship grew into love for both of you but her father, the man you admire the most in the world rejects you from his ancient order. His daughter goes with you, though the rift from her father is a great pain to her she cannot abide him doing this to you when you have done nothing wrong. He finds a new disciple, trains him and is betrayed and when her father goes to finish his plan he dies fighting that disciple and Talia is grief stricken that he died before they could be reconciled. She plans a great vengeance against that disciple and needs your help and there is nothing you won't do for her even if it means you will both see very little of each other for years and then die at the end..... ....... But at least there is a part you can enjoy, you get to put the bricks to that disciple, I mean beat the fucking breaks off that fucker and make him watch you destroy his city and if that is only good part of the plan then squeeze all the good out of it you can. I like this interpretation of Bane, he had many very personal reasons to hate Bruce Wayne...... This story was awesome!

[@razkable]

it made him the way he is...so bruce can finally see why he thinks the way he does..he had a soul when he saved talia but the pit took it out of him..

[@Forenzikproductions]

Bane respects Bruce so much that he had him specially brought to his prison to make him understand his madness and despair. He is also a former brother of the shadows and trained with Ras… *Bruce also put up a good fight with Bane and probably is the only one who can do so.*

One of the best scenes in the film. Bane's dialogue is riveting and the true brilliance of Tom Hardy's performance is perfectly portrayed in this scene. I also think his voice sounds he best in this scene. Honestly this movie is underrated. Everyone hates on it but it truly is a brilliant piece of cinema

[@mscmsc7150]

Film theory. Bane understood as a villain and in general that he was doomed. These moments are him knowingly creating the monster he will have to fight. (Which kinda makes him even more scary) He knows Bruce Wayne was not going to give up. And he didn’t kill him initially because what does that do for him? Just immediately kills the things that makes his path “badass” or “admirable” to his peers. Idk it’s my idea it’s not a script. Don’t judge me.

[@TheOpalTitan]

People who ask how he figured out his identity didn't really pay attention during the movie. He used Daggett to turn Wayne broke and let Talia get Access to the fusion reactor Project. Even if anyone argues that he couldn't possibly find out Batman's true identity can't rule out the fact that Talia simply told him since they were working together.

[@notahandle965]

In the original comics he deducted Batman's identity within a year so perhaps that was a reference to it as well.

[@bbenjoe]

In the animated Batman series Ra's al Ghul simply had considered the money and resources Batman needs to operate in Gothem, and ruled out Bruce Wayne's gotta be him. As for these movies, Leage of Shadows. They knew of Batmans identity obviously, and Bane took over what remained of it, after Ra's death.

[@buddablz]

In the Nolan series, Batman has to be the easiest identity to figure out. With the first two films, most people could give a benefit of a doubt but by TDKR. I mean, who wouldn't put together the first appearance, disappearance and reemergence of these two people. I'd figured Bane and Talia learned from surviving members of the league as I would expect Ra's Al Ghul to tell all his members of Wayne being involved the organization.

[@RafitaPapita2099]

aaaand at what point does talia find out that bruce was batman? it never happens in the movie. it's only alluded to because talia and bane were trained by the league of shadows. which still makes no sense because they were excommunicated before bruce joined. plot hole through and through.

[@notahandle965]

Talia was the daughter of Ra's al Ghul. She was probably even present at his initiation. She probably even met him while he was training. Use your fucking brain.

[@MrWiLDAPEMAN]

When Banes voice came over the cinema audio in his opening line, I quickly realised my mistake in prejudging the brilliance of the series.
